Cleaning a Burnt Stainless Steel Pan

Description: Tips for cleaning a burnt stainless steel pan.

Tip #1: The new "Power Dissolver" by Dawn works quite well.

Tip #2: Try Barkeeper's Friend. It works very well on stainless steel. Sprinkle the powder on a wet scrubbing pad, let it sit for a bit and then scrub off. The cleanser also works well on porcelain sinks and tile countertops.

Tip #3: Try using a dryer sheet with some water in the pan. That has been very successful for me.

Tip #4: Spray the dry pan with the new Dawn Power cleaner. Put the pan in a plastic bag and seal with twist tie. Let sit overnight. Most of the burned on part will rinse off, then use SOS or scrubby to finish the job.

Tip #5: Try mixing cream of tartar, baking soda and vinegar and then adding just enough water to cover the mess and boiling it? This is what I did--I still had to use the brillo pad a little bit.

Tip #6: The girls on "How Clean is Your House" use cola, simmered in the pan for about 5 minutes. You may have to do it again, but it sure did the job!...Joyce
